I have slightly larger than average hands, yet I find the PLUS models too big for one handed use.

I have the iPhone 8 for that reason.
 
I have pretty big hands... and find the Plus to be the perfect size for me.

That's pretty much it. I like the big screen and it's easy to text. I can use it easily one handed as well... covering the entire screen area.

To this day I wonder how I used the iPhone 5 for as long as I did. 😀

I owned iPhone 7 before and now X. Both share similar footprint and it's easy to carry. the X is slightly heavier but not big deal for me. Fit's very well in my pockets. I never used Plus for the same reason. The size is too big for my hands and it's hassle to carry around.
 
I don't have large hands, yet I find the Plus models to be "usable" one-handed, but I obviously prefer two handed for typing. I get it because I prefer the larger battery, better camera and of course the larger screen.

For me, and my age, I’ve never used it one-handed, always two regardless of the size. Better for my eyes as well. Nice battery life, and camera. Though it has two lenses I only use the wide-angle lens, never telephoto.

Love the width for video. Wider works better for me for two-handed typing. Can scroll/browse one-handed. Amazing battery life. More image on-screen for photo editing.
